BlogHer '13 and Chicago festivities

Seadog fireworks

*Disclosure: I am receiving a free fireworks cruise in exchange for writing this post. All opinions expressed, however, are my own.

If you're a blogger, you've undoubtedly heard of BlogHer, one of the biggest blogger/writer conferences in the country. I had the fortune of attending BlogHer last year, for my first time, in NYC, and the even better fortune of learning that it will be in Chicago this year: a quick four or five hour drive from the Detroit area, where I live.

The conference kicks off in about five weeks, and invites for events happening in Chicago at the same time are starting to roll into my mailbox. I'm in a few Facebook groups where event invites pop up, as well, and I happened to see and then be invited to this one: a fireworks cruise hosted by Madame Deals with Sea Dogs Cruises ... and I have to say I'm VERY excited about it! I took a boat ride on the "Pay it forward express" last year in NYC, and that was also through Madame Deals' generosity.

Navy Pier does fireworks every Wednesday and Saturday during the summer, and if you attend a fireworks cruise with Sea Dogs Cruises, you get to experience them from the ultimate location: the middle of Lake Michigan! I was in the Chicago area for a wedding last summer and a friend and I ventured downtown to see the fireworks that weekend; they were definitely a sight to behold. Music plays during the fireworks show as well.

I will be taking my cruise the first day I arrive in Chicago, on July 24th, and I can't wait! Check out more information about the cruise below if you're interested in experiencing one for yourself.
